Standing on the border of two years has such different connotations for each of us.

Whether you feel delighted or bereft over the next 48 hours I hope 2026 treats you gently.

At 6ft2 tall I used to apologise a lot,

Sorry for blocking your view, sorry for bumping into you as I try to fold my legs into a plane seat. Always trying to take up less space.

It's funny how we learn to shrink ourselves. To be smaller, quieter or easier to live alongside.

Motherhood seems to intensify this habit. Mums apologise for everything:

Sorry the house is a mess
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner
Sorry I forgot it's the kids Christmas jumper day

Sometimes our hearts ache for the way we want to apologise to these precious overwhelming kids of ours:

'I'm sorry I can't be the mum I wish I was for you right now'

But our children learn their self worth by watch ours in action. When we constantly say sorry for the beautifully complex women we are, with real needs, we teach our children that their needs and mistakes are shameful worthy too.

Let's notice next time we minimise our exhaustion or over apologise.What if instead of saying sorry we say:

'Thank you for understanding my limits'
Or
'I did my best and I'm still learning'

Let this crazy season be the one where we stop apologising for who we are and start saying what we need.

A woman who does so has nothing to apologise for.

It's come to my attention not everyone who has health cover realises that this often includes therapy.

This means you can come and see me, more or less for free!

Get in touch if you are interested!

Pregnancy leaves many women far from glowing.

Getting pregnant, staying pregnant and adjusting to motherhood are epic journeys and I don’t take them lightly.

Struggling during pregnancy is common and not a sign of failure. If you are feeling more weighed down than uplifted, I’m here to help. Therapy can provide a safe space to process your emotions, develop new coping strategies and mold your motherhood into something meaningful for you.
